Top 5 most searched Indian cricketers in 2025

Jemimah Rodrigues was the only woman player among the top five most searched Indian cricketers in 2025.

The year 2025 was like a roller-coaster ride for Indian Cricket Team (both men and women). At the start of the year in January, Rohit Sharma & Co. lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia, facing a 3-1 defeat in the five-match series. However, they bounced back by winning ICC Champions Trophy in March by crushing New Zealand in the final.

Two months later in May, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s sudden retirement from test cricket surprised the Indian cricket fraternity. Later, a young side under Shubman Gill executed a wonderful performance against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, claiming a 2-2 draw in England.

It was followed by India’s dominance at Asia Cup 2025 in September, where they overpowered Pakistan in the final to win their ninth title in the tournament’s history. The ACC tournament witnessed three exciting encounters between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, all of which were won by the Men in Blue.

In the first week of November, India Women won ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, capturing their first-ever ICC title with an impeccable comeback in the tournament. In the last week of the same month, India suffered a humiliating whitewash against South Africa at home in a two-match series. It was followed by India’s disappointing defeat against Pakistan in the U19 Asia Cup 2025 final in December.

Although the Indian cricket team observed many ups and downs this year, a few cricketers made headlines with their outstanding performances. Some earned the spotlight with their impeccable achievements and became the most searched Indian cricketers in Google searches. On that note, below are the top five most searched Indian cricketers in 2025.
